Screenwriting 101: Liz W. Garcia

“I think there are two kinds of spec scripts. If you’re actually writing a spec script that you want to sell, then the story is everything. I think if you’re writing a spec script that you want to be a sample of your voice, then it’s about your character, and it’s about your dialogue. In an ideal world, it’s both. You have a great idea and you render a fantastic character. You flesh that out with fantastic characters who actors will want to play. But, I think you need to know what your goal is.”
